Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- .5 teaspoon cumin
- .25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup light beer
- 2 pounds Cod
- 1 each lemon, wedges
- 1 cup tarter sauce
Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 200, middle rack. Pour the oil in dutch oven (or deep fryer) until 1 inch deep. Heat over medium high until 375. |
2. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, salt, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne together in a large bowl. When oil is almost ready, whisk the beer into the flour mixture until completely smooth. |
3. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Add half the fish to the batter and stir gently to coat. Following the photo, use tongs to life the pieces of fish from the batter one at a time, allowing any batter to drip back into the bowl and add to the hot oil. |
4. Fry, stirring the fish gently to prevent the pieces from sticking together, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. |
5. Remove the fired fish from the old and let drain briefly on paper towels. Transfer the drained fish to a wire rack set over a backing sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 375 degrees and batter and fry the remaining fish, Serve with the lemon wedges and tartar sauce. |
